Summary:
Torn between a revival of aesthetics and the persistence of conceptualism, critical writing about contemporary art has once again come to focus on differing views of its aesthetic dimension. The context and character of these debates has, however, shifted markedly since the 1960s, with changes in art practices, institutions, political contexts, and theoretical paradigms—and in particular, with the global extension of the Western art world since 1989. This inter- and transdisciplinary collection of essays by philosophers, artists, critics, and art historians, reconsiders the place of the aesthetic in contemporary art, with reference to four main themes: aesthetics as “sensate thinking”; the dissolution of artistic limits; post-autonomous practices; and exhibition-values in a global artworld.

Summary:
Since the founding of the AA Diploma degree almost a century ago, the AA has awarded a special prize each year to the student or students whose graduating project offers work of an exceptionally high standard.

Summary:
Josep Baqué naît le 12 décembre 1895 à Barcelone. Son père travaille dans une fabrique de céramiques. Un de ses oncles, employé dans une entreprise d’estampage de textile, lui fait découvrir les arts décoratifs et l’imagerie populaire dans les magazines qu’il lui procure. Rétif à l’apprentissage scolaire, excentrique et rebelle, Baqué vit de petits boulots sur le port ou le marché. Il quitte sa famille à 17 ans, voyage en France, en Allemagne. En 1928, il rentre à Barcelone. Grâce à l’un de ses oncles il entre dans la Guàrdia Urbana, où il sera employé jusqu’à sa mort en 1967. De 1932 à sa mort, il réalise un corpus de créatures imaginaires. Ses 1500 animaux, phénomènes rares, bêtes jamais vues, monstres et hommes primitifs dévoilent sa fascination pour les morphologies surprenantes.La Collection de l’Art Brut possède dans ses collections douze planches de Josep Baqué.
